This invention relates to awnings or shades .for the windows and doors of closed cars and particularly to windows or doors having vertically sliding panes or sashes.

The general object oi the present invention is to provide an awning structure which may be readily applied to a door or window frame and whose simplicity is awning may be rea such that the dily shifted or changed from one window or door opening to another without any trouble A further object attachment of this niit the closing or is to provide an awning haracter which will peropentng ot the pane or sash without having to remove the awning.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein ,Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of an automobile showing my invention applied thereto;

Fig. 2 the upper portion opening showing 111 is a vertical sectional view through of an automobile door y awning 1n section;

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 2;

4 rig. I is a peisp ing trame.

Referring seen that the awni ective vlew of the awnto these drawings it will be ng trame'oonsists of a transverse upper rod which is rounded at ends, a transversely extending lower rod 11 and the downwardly and outwardly extending rods 12 which are of the ends of the upper rod disposed inward ing 13 of any suitable material is stitched or otherwise conne lower rods. v

For the purpose in a downwardly and position when the opening supporting bending the rods 12 extending these rod cted to the upper and oi holding the awning s rearward. These rods extend rearward any suitable distance and are then angular-1y bent port1on15 1s feature,

bent as at and this flattened, an important 10. An awnoutwardly extending device is applied to a door I provide the rearwardly extending arms 14: preferably made at their lower ends and In putting this device upon'a car, place the ends of the upper rod 10 in the felt lined grooves where the glass pane or sash operates, putti the top of thewindow openin ng this rod very close-up to The arms 14 may then be sprung inward to pass the frame of the 3ect1ons 15 are window and the lateral proforced outward by the resiliency of the arms toa-position between the outermost felt the door, as shown in Figure these projectio obstruction to layer and the steel portion of 3.
